Given:
Partial floor framing for Rm A110 at the College of Engineering is provided in Figure 1. The floor framing consists
of one-way concrete joists spaced at 3'-0'' centers. The concrete joists have a clear span of 35'-0'' between
concrete girders.
Figure 1 Partial floor framing for Rm A110
A section through the joists is shown in Figure 2. The thickness of the concrete floor slab is 412.It is reinforced
with #4 bars spaced at 6 o.c. in the direction parallel with the concrete joists. The bottom of each joist is
reinforced with a #9 bar. The distance between adjacent joist webs is 30". The side of each joist is tapered at a
slope of 1 and 12.
Figure 2. Section through concrete joist framing
All concrete joists are constructed monolithically with the concrete slab and girders. For this reason, the joists are
continuous span members and have both negative and positive bending moments. The maximum negative
moment occurs at the face of each girder-joist connection, and the maximum positive moment occurs at
midspan. Instead of completing a structural analysis using influence diagrams to find these moments, ACl allows
analysis using the ACI coefficients in Table 6.5.2. To find the maximum moment, multiply the ACl coefficient Cm
by the uniform floor load and the square of the clear span where =Cm* wu ln2. ACl coefficients for the
concrete floor joists are shown in Figure 3.

Required:
Part A
Assume 3,000 psi concrete and Grade 60 steel. Find the design flexural strength of the concrete joists for
positive and negative bending (Hint: In regions of negative bending, the distance d to the reinforcing steel will
be from the bottom of the joist to the steel in the slab. Recall that all concrete below the neutral axis is assumed
to be cracked. The joist taper and steel located at the bottom of the web may be ignored for the flexural
analysis in negative bending regions.)
Part B?()
In addition to the self-weight of the floor framing system, there is a superimposed dead load of 15psf for
mechanical ducts, electrical wiring, and ceiling loads. Determine the maximum uniform floor live load LL(psf) at
the service level that can be carried by the joists.
